History

edit

The team was formed by the West Australian Fiore racing family, with the team name referencing the three Fiore brothersDean, Paul and Todd. The team raced out of Western Australia for many years running mainly in state level series inFormula Ford and Saloon Car racing. After the collapse ofTeam Kiwi Racing as a V8 Supercar team in early 2009, Triple F Racing was created to keep Dean Fiore, who had been racing theHolden VE Commodore utilising theTeam Kiwi Racing REC, but the car was in essence a third car for thePaul Morris Motorsport team. Triple F Racing formally took over the car as of theWinton round of the 2009 series. In keeping with results achieved by second and/or third Paul Morris Motorsport supported vehicles, results were modest.

For the2010 season, aFord FG Falcon was acquired fromPaul Cruikshank Racing and the team moved into their own workshop on the Gold Coast.[1] Dean Fiore moved up the grid in terms of performance with the later model car. The former VE Commodore was used by Paul and Todd Fiore in the second-tierDevelopment Series until round 5 where the team debuted an ex Triple 8BF Falcon, which was used for the rest of the season.[2]Michael Patrizi was the team's co-driver in the endurance races.

In2011 season. the team continued with the FG Falcon, while the BF Falcon was used by the team in the V8 Supercar Development Series. Patrizi was retained as the team's endurance driver.

In2012, the REC, Fiore and car moved to become a thirdDick Johnson Racing entry.[3]Matt Halliday co-drove in the endurance events.

In2013 the REC remained with Dick Johnson withJonny Reid and laterChaz Mostert driving a new Ford FG Falcon, with Dean Fiore driving aHolden VF Commodore forLucas Dumbrell Motorsport.[4][5] At the end of the season the REC was returned by Dick Johnson Racing, and after unsuccessfully trying to raise sponsorship for a 2014 campaign, was returned to V8 Supercars Australia.[6]

In addition to the V8 Supercar team, the original West Australian based Triple F Racing continued to support Paul Fiore racing Holden Commodore in Saloon Cars, and Todd Fiore inFormula Ford during the 2009 season.
